I read an awful lot of books but I do not always keep a record of what I am reading. So I thought it might be a good idea to keep a list on my blog, and maybe I will introduce you to some new books. One word of warning though I mainly only read science fiction or fantasy, with a smattering of other genres.
I found the above series quite by chance in one of my local libraries, however it was book 7 of the series. Now I can not stand reading a series from a midpoint, you just can never pick up what is happening. While imagine my surprise when I tried to get the first in the series and was told by the librarian that they do not have the first 6 books.
What is the point in buying just a few in a series? But I persevered and I very luckily found it at a different area library. (Yes I have multiple library cards).
The book is set in a hypothetical universe where in order to survive the humans have taken on characteristics of the local giant insects, becoming kinden. So you have ant- kinden and beetle- kinden to name a few. Some of the kinden have magic, others do not.
In this world the Empire (Wasps in this case) are slowly taking over and enslaving all the land. It is up to a beetle- kinden called Stenwold Maker to try and convince every one that the threat is real.
I have to say that I really loved this book! I've just gotten the second in the series "Dragonfly Falling" and have to make some time to read it. (And finish of the other 3 books that I am reading).
